The Awakening

by Colleen O'Flaherty-Hilder

  Orla had been equally perplexed at how the slavery programme became deeply imbedded in every day life. She had seen how more and more people became enslaved by the Warrior Leaders.“How could this be?”, she asked her mentors “Each and every individual is special and deserves respect and freedom”.Unicorn, unfazed by her naivety, explained to her that the Warrior Leaders were lazy; without the security of Crystal Wisdom, they were becoming seduced by their addictions to replace that security – with addictions to alcohol, the pleasures of the flesh, food, gold and most of all to power.

  Whale suggested that Orla rested before seeing the next chapter of life on Earth and led her outside of the viewing chamber. She lay down next to Unicorn and promptly fell asleep. Her dreams were full of her experiences in the different worlds of Crystaland, they invigorated her, and when she awoke she was ready for the next session. Whale took her back into the viewing chamber knowing that the next viewing would be particularly hard for her to absorb.

  THE FEAR MYTH OF THE SUPPRESSION OF FREEDOM

  Orla sat eagerly in front of the screen and before her eyes another theme of history began. This time it was focusing on the way man treated the children of the planet – the most important asset that Creation had, the future Guardians. After the Warrior Leaders took control of the planet, the knowledge of plants for healing also gradually diminished and left humans vulnerable. In those early warrior days, many of the children did not reach their first birthday, so many babies were conceived to restock the constant outpouring of death – death by ignorance and death from battle. The children who survived birth and their early years were those who were physically stronger – strong carriers of the fear myths. The conquering warriors always took slaves from the communities that they invaded and captured, and used them as beasts of burden. The programming from the original humanoids was truly coming to the fore with a vengeance. Their lives were short but there were always many more slaves to take their place. The warriors then thought it would be prudent to breed from the slaves so that there would be a constant supply, removing the need to laboriously transport them when captured from war zones. And so, to these wretched humans little lives were born, born into slavery with no understanding of freedom, with no experience or knowledge of the ability to run and play in the sun. They were tethered from birth to death to a life of misery and servitude, which would eventually become the blueprint for the work ethic for the majority of the human race. The tragedy was that they looked on at the lifestyle of their owners, the Warrior Leaders, saw that they had lives of privilege, comfort, excess and freedom, and with time accepted that their role in life was just to serve, feeling that they deserved no better. They had totally lost any sense of self-worth and accepted that there was a hierarchy in life, a two-tier system whereby there were the privileged and non-privileged, which it would appear could never be changed. Society’s cruel hierarchy of fear was burned at that moment into the hearts and minds of humanity.

  At this point, it was Orla who was weeping. This was a girl who had known few tears in her life. The only time that she had shed a tear was when she had fallen and hurt herself when she was very little or when one of her beloved animals had come to the end of its Earth life. But these were the tears of deep sadness and a grieving for the ugliness of mankind had how the inhabitants of Earth were devouring their home. She also couldn’t comprehend the fear that men had of women. On Crystal Island, it was common knowledge that the females were the carriers of crystal knowledge, but that equally all men inherited that knowledge and they were happy to be a part of its continuum. There was complete mutual respect between men and women. Each person on the island knew the power base was not of human origin – it belonged to the planet. This was an island that was a nature-led society – not a society led by primitive needs and desires.

  The theme of slavery continued throughout history in both an overt and covert way. As time continued, there was a muttering of rebellion – a few enlightened people who fought for the abolition of slavery. The law was changed but it was too late: the blueprint of slavery was well and truly tattooed onto everyone’s memory. Slavery continued, therefore, but in different guises. Everyone appeared to be free but, and here was the big ‘but’, to survive in a hedonistic material world you had to work for the Warrior Leaders. The warriors no longer wore suits of armour, proudly displaying their battle scars. No, these warriors had fashioned themselves to be educated, wise and liberal leaders. They might have looked like caring human beings but this was a façade. The only way they could have been truly caring and wise was to have had dominant Crystal memory evidenced by the priority of caring for the planet. This was obviously not happening because the model they were using to rule people was still based on the fear myths. Where there is fear there is no Wisdom and no Creativity. Moreover, ironically, the aspirations of the common man were not to be free but to be chained to their material lifestyle; their role models were the new power leaders, their captors.

  As time went on and the need for the paraphernalia of materialism became more urgent, early industrialisation introduced an ugly form of slavery. The innocent children became labourers alongside their parents, engaged in the harsh life of survival. There were only a few people who had comfortable lives, the rest were nothing more than slaves. And so the suppression of the freedom of childhood continued, children being born and dying from disease or privation before maturing. If they survived those brutal first years, they were sent to work at the age of five or six in inhumane conditions. Orla had tears rolling down her face again as she saw the tragedy of the daily toll on their lives – no light, no play, no nurturing nor any qualities required for healthy development – physically and emotionally.

  THE FEAR MYTH OF EDUCATION

  Then came the books. By this time man had decided what was right and wrong in terms of the power base and had created a way of judging based on the formulation of words which they called logic and reason. This ensured that the words made sense but the Truth of Wisdom was sometimes obscure. But it was this very process which led to what was called science, medicine and law, the three major authorities that eventually would decide the fate of mankind. This process would ultimately lead man to believe, erroneously, that he knew as much, if not more, than Creation. The use of words had been dumbed down to a two dimensional formula that excluded the Crystal word formulas reflecting the sound of creation and therefore illuminating the Truth. The teaching of Crystal Wisdom was an oral tradition and never written down, for it was the vibration of the spoken or sung words that connected man directly to that Wisdom.

  Eventually some enlightened people helped change the laws to prevent children from being exploited in industry to enable them to have a better education. So the children were removed from the oppression of the factories and the mines but were forced to spend hours every day in a classroom with a teacher dictating to them facts, logic and reason – another form of enslavement. The creative side of these children was being closed down. Spontaneity, one of the closest links to the Crystal memory, a gift to all mankind, was suppressed at a very early age and therefore the desire to question was literally ironed out of their vocabulary. To the boredom, they added the stress of intense examinations, introducing collective competition and a pass or fail mentality. The fear subtext of that mentality was to survive or not. Children had to regularly take exams from a very early age, upon which they would be judged and assessed as to their potential, the results of which would stay with them, good or bad with all of the inherent limitations, for the rest of their lives. So much fear was being programmed into young people that they had to suppress their natural urges of expression, and when that happened their minds did not work correctly and they became vulnerable to the slightest substances that might release them from their inner prison…what was that, ah yes, the addictive substances.

  Humans had inherited from the Crystaland memory a condition of the mind, which, if uncontested by survival fea
r, allowed them to produce feelings of unbridled joy and happiness. This was the default mode of every child, inherited at conception, unless of course they were put into primal fear-induced situations of oppression. They then became vulnerable to substances like alcohol, tobacco, chemical stimulants, and plant hallucinogens to name but a few. The most sensitive of children, those who had dominant Crystaland memory were the little individuals to feel the most distress. They could not make sense of the world into which they had been born. What they were experiencing was in direct conflict with their deep memory, which stored echoes of happy times, balanced times, times of peace and joy. These were the very people who could have helped turn the tide of their degeneration. Within them was a deep ache, a longing, and when they touched any of those substances that gave a quick fix, a hit of pleasure, it transported them temporarily to that joyful place for a small moment in time and they wanted to stay there because it made them feel like they had come home. These sensitive ones then became addicted to the substances because the world around them was too painful to endure without the relief of the momentary euphoria that their addictions provided. Many of these sensitives had carried the Gift of Music, which is a direct connection to the song of the universe, and within them, they yearned to reconnect to that song and express that song in its many forms to the people and everything else on Earth.

  But the cacophony of the material world and all its incumbent fears drowned out that song and they felt lost and hollow, their creativity lost in a sea of meaningless noise being generated by the power leaders who had identified music as another medium to control and also to make money. Whale glanced at Orla as she sat attentively watching the screen trying to make sense of the chaos before her. He reminded Orla that sound, in all its colours and shades, which includes words expressed within the Truth of Wisdom, would be the only quality to bring the Crystal memory back into the consciousness of mankind. Orla thought about this deeply and reflected on her journey through the Sapphire and Silver Crystal world and the music on Crystal Island. The music was beautiful and captivating, reflecting the many facets of Creation through the instruments, which had been perfected for centuries to reflect accurately the melody of the Earth. The string instruments were more evident as they captured the undulations of the emotions of the different landscape beautifully and the accompanying lyrics described the many and various stories of Crystal Wisdom. Orla’s musical strength was in writing powerful lyrics and matching the lyrics with corresponding melodies, oh how she loved doing this. This was a gift that she would develop even further when she returned to Crystal Island. Both her parents played musical instruments creatively and she reflected on her father’s wonderful voice that embraced and expressed strength and power, which had the ability to create balance out of chaos.

  THE FEAR MYTH OF

  SLAVERY IN INDUSTRY

  The Warrior Leaders had hungered for more and more ways to gain and retain power and had introduced the idea of money and trade. Instead of each community providing for everyone in its community, the community had to provide for the Warrior Leaders. In the early days, it started with bartering and then it became more sophisticated. Recognising the value in the precious mineral gold, gold coin was used to represent power. The more gold coin you had, the more powerful you were. And, when the planet eventually stopped offering up its gold in the streams that flowed from the mountains, the leaders put the slaves to work underground to dig the gold out of the Earth. The raping of nature’s resources was widespread both above and below ground.

  With the eventual abolition of slavery, people were paid for their work but they had to work so hard for little rewards that the fear programming was still being perpetuated. What was different from the days of official slavery?Over the centuries the theme of slavery became even more sinister. The power leaders had been forced by various legislation to pay their workers more. But, that cunning primitive brain saw an opportunity to turn this to its advantage. The working people were seduced into spending their money on paraphernalia or services that they did not really need but were manufactured by the power leaders. There was such an outpouring of spending by workers that vast amounts of profits were made by those power leaders. The money that they paid to their workers eventually made its way back into the bulging coffers of the power leaders – so clever. With so much materialism, the need to work more and more became a fear motivation. Fear stalked workers waking lives, haunted their dreams, and disrupted their sleep. Fear transformed into worry; worry about keeping jobs and not being able to continue to buy all the unnecessary ‘things and stuff’ and ‘services’ that they had been conditioned to believe were vital to a successful life, and indeed, to their survival.

  Orla looked on at the array of objects that these people thought were essential to life: vehicles in all colours and sizes which used up vast amounts of fuel from the ever decreasing supplies of the planet; houses and items for the house that needed to be replaced regularly as a newer and shinier version appeared on the shelves. In addition to polluting the minds of mankind, the manufacture of all these unnecessary articles also polluted the air and the waterways and depleted the vital minerals from the earth.

  Such was the brainwashing that man’s main goal in life was to earn more gold from his job, and those who earned the most were regarded as having reached the pinnacle of success. Those who accumulated immense wealth replaced the Warrior Leaders and became the power leaders safe in the knowledge that, whilst there was fear there would be no questioning, no enquiry, no challenge. The warrior roared and beat his chest in triumph.

  The perplexed Orla asked Whale why the Crystalanders had not come back to the Earth and reversed the spiral of degeneration. Whale explained that there were two important factors that allowed Crystalanders to be able to enter Earth’s atmosphere. One was that the vibration of the planet, which had changed beyond all recognition, had become very dense – too dense for them to survive. When the Crystalanders had come to Earth originally the fibre of the planet was still functioning, it had just not been developed. That fibre had been destroyed and the Crystalanders would not have survived in the polluted environment of Earth. Another important factor was the Shadow. The Shadow, whilst being attracted to man’s primitive fear, had contributed largely to humanity’s vibration becoming so dense that he would not have been able to recognise the Crystalanders. To be able to see their form, man had to be innocent; the Shadow had taken man’s innocence and replaced it with corruption. Whilst man had been very primitive when the Crystalanders first appeared, he was relatively innocent: he had no other knowledge. Man now had taken knowledge and had manipulated it to suit himself to make his own rules. All the Crystalanders could do was to scan the events from the safe distance of other galaxies and observe the degeneration.

  They had seen this many times before with planets in other universes, each time it happened it ended with an almighty apocalypse. But this time there was hope, this time the people from Crystal Island had kept the pure Crystal memory dominant for thousands of years and it was still active. The Crystalanders watched and waited to see if this time man would wake up to what he was doing to his home, banish the squatters and elect to be a better tenant. Whale explained that throughout history, there had been people who had tried to reverse the philosophy and practice of degeneration and they had been called holy men and prophets. These pioneering men had been able to see the Shadow and therefore recognise the ugliness that had crept into mankind. This had worked for a while; people were listening and were being drawn back to seeking the Crystal ways but the power leaders saw this as another opportunity to control the masses. So they infiltrated the new organisations of the new philosophies, distorted the message and installed a warrior-hierarchy into their administration. The Cult of the Warrior inhibited the message of compassion and mercy and replaced it with a strict dogma that filled the vulnerable with guilt instead of mercy, making them easy prey for the manipulation of the power leaders. The
words of compassion and mercy, as taught by the holy men, were suffocated in a sea of false piety. Eventually the bitter veneer of this dogma was exposed in scandal and the people became disillusioned, turning their back on the teachings of those ‘holy’ people.

  But this message resurrected that longing inside them; it interrupted the fear myths momentarily and, in their desperation, they turned to anyone who seemed to have a new philosophy whether they were authentic or not. This was the period of the false prophets and gurus. Mankind was still looking for that part of himself that represented Wisdom and it appeared that anyone who spoke of ‘enlightenment’, ‘spirituality’ or ‘self empowerment’ was erroneously and dangerously elevated to Mastery. The worship of deity was programming that had evolved after the Crystalanders had left. It was man’s constant search for that higher part of himself but, instead of looking for it within, he chose to look outside and he was easily duped. And, because man had forgotten what authentic Crystal Wisdom was, he accepted any poor imitation. Once again, he was open to manipulation by his predators.

  Whale explained to Orla that there had been many people who had warned that misuse of the planet’s natural resources would be a major cause for the degeneration of the planet, but they had been only partially correct. He went on to explain that the most dangerous toxin was the thought-forms created by their fears, which in turn attracted more Shadow. Orla reflected on her journey through the different worlds of Crystaland where she had witnessed the powerful results of pure intention and focus. Whale explained that fear intensified the malignancy of the intention and rendered it more destructive. The biggest danger to the future of planet Earth was the intention of hatred for each other – in all its colours and shades – that was carved into every memory cell of mankind.
